Editorial: UCLA's Best: 3. Dance Marathon: our legacy of philanthropy: "College students dancing is nothing to call home about. College students planning, organizing and participating in an event that raises over a quarter of a million dollars for a good cause is reason to call everywhere.

In a monumental achievement of philanthropy, 742 students bonded, worked up a sweat, and danced in order to raise $268,831.31 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

By staying on their feet for 26 hours, the participants did more than raise money for AIDS research. They, and the thousands of moralers and donors, showed everyone what a group of dedicated students can do with enough passion and energy. "
